Dillydog – Stay on Track for your ILR Application 🇬🇧 Your simple, smart tool to track absences and avoid breaking ILR rules.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We’re Liz & Owen, builders behind Dillydog, a UK immigration holiday-tracker built for anyone pursuing Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) 🇬🇧
🌟 The Problem
It started with a personal problem—applying for ILR is stressful. One wrong day abroad—and your 5‑year qualifying period could be reset. The official Home Office 180‑day absence rule applies to every rolling 12‑month window. Nobody wants to manually calculate all that.
🐶 The Solution
Dillydog makes it effortless:
• 🗓️ Add your start date and leave intervals
• 📊 See daily “continuous residence” totals
• 🚫 Get alerts on approaching 180-day limits
• ✅ Know exactly when you’re ILR-eligible, even factoring the 28‑day early apply rule  
• ✈️ Check if your future holidays are compliant
🚀 Built For
• Skilled-workers, family visa-holders, investors — anyone navigating continuous residence rules
• Immigration advisers helping clients stay compliant
• People who travel for work, need medical leave abroad, or simply enjoy holidays
✅ Why We Built It
1. Avoid costly mistakes: Early alerts prevent accidental disqualification
2. Everything in one place: Track absences, eligibility, and key dates in a clean dashboard
3. Easy, not legalese: All calculations based on official Home Office guidance  
📅 What’s Live Now
• Sign‑up, import trips, eligibility calendar
• Visual timeline and rolling 12‑month summaries
• Check if your next trip in the future is compliant
🔜 Coming Soon
• Automatic trip detection from emails/photos
• Shared access — for advisers and lawyers
